* Vince Guaraldi Trio: O Tannenbaum (6.5 mb) | Linus And Lucy (4.5 mb) | Christmas Time Is Coming (8.5 mb) | Skating (3.5 mb)
From A Charlie Brown Christmas : Fantasy Records : 8431
It seems that people are putting their Holiday decorations up earlier and earlier. Now, Halloween is barely finished and people have their lights up, their trees up and deorated, and their large, blown up Santa Clauses on the front lawn. All these lights always bring to mind the classic movies that I would watch in order to escape the family dramas: A Charlie Brown Christmas and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It was Charlie Brown though, who I always wanted to watch. In large part I think, because of this soundtrack. This is an absolutely timeless classic. These jazz renderings of popular holiday songs by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, while slightly schmaltzy, are still both humorous and sophisticated.
